New Description
The focus of this training course is routing IPv6 in enterprise networks. The focus is put on fundamental routing principles and OSPF for IPv6 (OSPFv3) in particular. RIPng and BGP for IPv6 are covered briefly. Practical exercises are a major part of the course. The exercises are performed using Cisco equipment.
Target group
This course is aimed at technical personnel that need a deeper understanding of how to implement advanced routing configurations in an IPv6 network.
Prerequisites
The course requires basic knowledge of the IPv6 protocol equivalent to our course IPv6 Technical, as well as familiarity with the routing protocols for IPv4.
Other
This course is available as scheduled training and the presentation is given in English or Swedish. The course is mixing theory and practical exercises. We can also give this course as on-site training. If you are interested in customized education, don’t hesitate to contact us for further information.
